ChrisKels: this is from BBC..... Scottish Cup final: Calvin Bassey leads the way for Rangers' triumph By Tom English BBC Scotland 4 hours ago Rangers You can imagine the scene in the Rangers inner- sanctum. The stats guys plug in Calvin Bassey's GPS monitor and download his numbers from this Cup that was 2-0 going on five and six-nil, a set of figures so stratospherically high that the laptop sizzles and explodes under the weight of the data. "The man mountain," as former Ibrox manager Alex McLeish described him, was out on his own as the final's best player, so much so that when they were dishing out the medals, they should have given him two of them. It wasn't just the quality of his work, it was the joy on his face while doing that work that lit the place up. One hundred minutes into the Europa League final in the dead heat of Seville on Wednesday night, Bassey was the one tracking back and hounding Eintracht Frankfurt's Ansgar Knauff out of possession. One hundred minutes into this Hampden final, he was flying up his left wing in support of a Rangers attack. One hundred and fourteen minutes saw him stretch his calf on the touchline, an episode that made you wonder if he was actually made of flesh and bone after all rather than being put together in a lab some place. To be fair, it was a quick stretch. Two minutes later, he snuffed Hearts out and won a throw-in. In the 119th minute, he won another throw-in, two minutes after that, 121 minutes now, he was involved again. All of a sudden, he gave the impression of a fresh player. The Duracell Bunny must run on Calvin batteries. He covered every blade of grass with such gusto that you wondered at times how many of him were actually out there. Defending astutely, attacking dangerously, whipping in precise crosses that presented golden chances that were missed. Watching from the distance, the injured Alfredo Morelos must have salivated at the service being offered. This was one of the most accomplished and effervescent performances we've seen from an individual in a Scottish Cup final for quite some time. At the end, he dropped to his knees and gave thanks, then rose up and scampered off to be with the Rangers supporters, his arms windmilling, his face beaming. Bassey is 22, that's the phenomenal thing. He's a player of massive potential, a guy who will have his suitors in the summer if anybody down south or beyond is paying attention. How Rangers folk will hope that the radars of the monied ones have slipped. Bassey is a talent they'll want to savour for a while yet. They did it at last, then. So many years and so many failed cracks at winning another Scottish Cup, but that odyssey ended on Saturday. It went to extra time, which would have been entirely unnecessary had Rangers not been so wasteful and Craig Gordon not been so Craig Gordon. Bassey put over a lovely cross to Joe Aribo in the 38th minute, but Aribo headed over. Bassey put over another lovely cross to Amad Diallo in the 42nd minute, but Diallo put it over. Bassey, himself, had a crack in the 75th minute, but Gordon saved. Just before the end of normal time, Aribo had his shirt pulled and should have had a penalty but still got his shot away, which, guess what, Gordon saved brilliantly. Then, Scott Wright's header clipped the top of the bar. Hearts arrived with hope despite losing three and drawing one against Rangers this season. Ellis Simms hit the post when he should have hit the net after 10 minutes and from that point on the life was drained out of them by a Rangers team not just playing their second 120-minuter in four days but getting stronger and stronger as the time ticked by. It was their 65th game of the season. It didn't look it. The underdogs barely managed a growl, not to mind a bark. They had injury concerns coming into this but John Souttar and Craig Halkett both started and both played well, so that's no excuse for the one-sided nature of it. The fact that it went to extra time was bizarre, but it did and Rangers dealt with it. 4 Likes |

Fun Fact: Chidozie Awaziem Chidozie Awaziem ends the 21/22 Turkish Super lig with a Commanding performance in Alanyaspor's 1-0 away win to finish 5th on the table. He played from LB and played all 90mins. Now here's the real fun fact, Current Super Eagles Coach, Jose Peseiro, was the man in charge of FC Porto when Chidozie Awaziem made his senior Porto debut back in 2016. Peseiro went on to start Awaziem in 9 further league games out of the subsequent 12 league games that followed till the end of the 2015/2016 season before he was sacked and Nuno Espirito Santo came in (Nuno was much later was replaced by current manager, Sergio Conceicao). Now Awaziem and Peseiro are reunited. Meanwhile... Awaziem finishes the Super Lig 21/22 season with: - 18 league games (17 starts) - 1 Goal - 6 cleansheets - 87% passing accuracy per game (52 accurate passes per game) - 3.7 accurate long balls per game (53% long balls accuracy) - 1.7 interceptions per game - 2.1 tackles per game. - 4.1 clearances per game. C.Awaziem and C.Bassey could just be the Defensive duo to whom Peseiro hand the Eagles' defensive reins. TheSuperNerd: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 4:51pm On May 22, 2022 |
Lol... relax. You know very well how much I follow these lads bumper to bumper. Ozornwafor still sits behind Awaziem for now. That's fact. But Ozornwafor is welcome to boost our defensive tactical variety and options. His libero role at Charleroi this season was very nice to watch. He's gotten better and I expect Peseiro and the crew have their eyes on him with time. charlesemeka85: 1 Like |
